The winter was over, and the snow melted under the hot sun. The frozen lake had defrosted, and a boat had been
searching for someone for days and nights. The mountain turned into flat land, and there was even a huge hole.
Anthony had bought this land in the name of developing it; no one dared lay their fingers on it in the first place, and
it could not be developed into anything at first. But it was easy for him to get approval; no one would restrain him
from doing anything to this land.
Less and less people are putting their attention on the Crawford family now. Once every week or two, some media
would report the search for the daughter of their family. The entire Crawford family was mourning; Byrson took
leave again, whereas Cloud and Max broke their own rules and used their connection to search for her. With a huge
noise, the defrozen river flew into the huge hole and filled it up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Drain the water! Drain it now!” Blake was in a black windbreaker, and he stood at the side of the hole. The hole
was too deep, and they had to drain the water as they dug deeper now. Blake was worried. What if Lilly is about to
get out from under the water and is drowned by the water?
“Mr. MacNeil…” Layton did not know what to say. Three months had passed! Even if she’s really down there, she
would be dead by now. No one could survive being buried for three months. But Layton did not dare to say it out
loud. If this were not the case, he would be able to joke with him and say that Blake was becoming fierce like his old
self. He was actually even scarier than he once was in the war.
Someone came over to ask if they wanted to continue to drain the water. Layton sighed, “Yes, please add on ten
more machines.”
Edward walked up to them and said, “Let me take over from here.” He worked in the construction field, so he knew
how to handle it. He looked at the deep hole right in front of him; the mountain was long gone, and the huge hole
had formed. Deep down in his heart, he actually knew that there was no hope left; three months had passed. But
he also knew that everyone would be devastated if they decided to stop digging; as long as they were trying, they
could all live in their wishful thinking, hoping Lilly could be back one day. He turned around, and they were tearing
up together.
At that moment, a decent, tiny girl wearing a pink skirt was skipping toward them; she was imitating Lilly’s behavior.
“Uncle Blake, I’m here to send you the lunchbox!” She raised the pink lunchbox in her hands and looked at him. She
was the granddaughter of the family that self-declared itself to be the God of War. There were three children in that
family; all of them went back to their hometown except for the daughter, who was married to a rich man. That
daughter could somewhat be considered Blake’s cousin; she kept a low profile when Blake was reconstructing the
MacNeil family. Now that she knew Lilly was missing, she had some plans coming up. She knew Blake disliked her,
but Yena was considered his niece. He can’t possibly hit a four-year-old child, right?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIndeed, he would not do anything to Yena; she reminded him of Lilly. His heart was hurting looking at her. At the
beginning, he merely carried her and shooed her away; yet, she did not feel insulted; she felt that it was fun. After
that, Blake decided to just ignore her. So Yena would just come to him once in a while. She would not give up, even
though he ignored her all the time. “Uncle Blake, I made the lunch myself; why don’t you give it a try?” She tried to
sound as cute as she could.
Mommy told me if I’m able to be close with Uncle Blake, I can have a luxurious life. No one can bully me, and I can
surpass my elder sister! People always say that my mommy is the mistress. So although Daddy is rich, the two of us
are still humiliated everywhere we go. She did not know what a luxurious life was, but she did not want to be looked
down upon or bullied by her elder sister anymore! She knew that Blake pampered Lily a lot, and her mother told
her that Lilly must be dead by now. It’s okay for Uncle Blake to treat me like this for now; as long as I don’t give up, I
can succeed! And Mommy and I will have a better life!
